NBA: St. Louis Hawks (1958) & Philadelphia 76ers (1967)
ABA Championship: Oakland Oaks (1969)

Now those were the days. To be honest, I loved it. Don’t ever wish it to comeback but it was spectacular

I always liked negro league photos of the busses they rode in. This one has Josh Gibson (far right) with Satchel Paige next to him
Greenlee Field advertised on the bus was an interesting place. William Greenlee,a racketeer,built that baseball park in 1931 even though the Great Depression was going

Paul Arizin was a early master of the mid range jump shot
“It came by accident. Some of the games were played on dance floors. It became quite slippery. When I tried a hook my foot would go out from under me, so I jumped. My feet weren’t on the floor so I didn’t worry about slipping”

Interesting fact
Bernard King’s 1984-85 season he averaged 32.9 pts per game
From 1975-76 to 2004-05, Michael Jordan & George Gervin were the only others that averaged more than 32.5. Jordan did it 5 times
I know the pic is not his Knicks season but I don’t have that card😀

“Olivia hits pitches instead of pitchers. He doesn’t even bother to learn the names of the hurlers” —Max Nichols Sporting News
This was based on Tony Olivia questioning what kind of name is Mudcat. Olivia got his opening day hit off Mudcat Grant in 1964.

Audioslave’s “LIKE A STONE” hits the top 10!! 21 years after it’s release, “Like A Stone” climbed to No. 10 on Billboard’s Hard Rock Streaming Songs chart—the highest Audioslave has ever been on that list. The song also has over 1.3 billion views on YouTube. I know Chris Cornell would be very proud.
